Analysis and modeling of the inverted bioconvection in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: emergence of plumes from the layer of accumulated cells

Bioconvection is a convective flow found in a suspension of motile cells that swim against gravity, and is a primitive form of order formation of cells, which has been studied both experimentally and theoretically. We formulate here an inverted bioconvection occurring in a suspension of phototactic...
